Not much that can be done with the Wacker view however. The river bends eastwards south of 290 and the view corridor is dominated by lowrise industrial/warehousing, railyards and other uses that aren't going anywhere anytime soon (ala the huge USPS facility). Short of building a highrise where the Carrier Annex is on the OPO property, that vantage will remain an open view corridor for a long time.

Dearborn Park, on the other hand, can be ultimately remedied. Just a matter of time as land values continue to climb.
